Title

The SDN controller must be configured in accordance with the security configuration settings based on DoDDOD security configuration or implementation guidance, including STIGs, NSA configuration guides, CTOs, and DTMs.

Severity

Check text

This STIG is sunset and no longer maintained. Verify the version in use is still supported by the vendor. If the version in use is not supported by the vendor, this is a finding. Determine if the SDN controller is configured in accordance with the security configuration settings based on DoDDOD security configuration or implementation guidance, including STIGs, NSA configuration guides, CTOs, and DTMs. If it is not configured in accordance with the designated security configuration settings, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the SDN controller to be configured in accordance with the security configuration settings based on DoDDOD security configuration or implementation guidance, including STIGs, NSA configuration guides, CTOs, and DTMs.

Discussion

Configuring the network device to implement organization-wide security implementation guides and security checklists ensures compliance with federal standards and establishes a common security baseline across DoDDOD that reflects the most restrictive security posture consistent with operational requirements. Configuration settings are the set of parameters that can be changed that affect the security posture and/or functionality of the network device. Security-related parameters are those parameters impacting the security state of the network device, including the parameters required to satisfy other security control requirements.

How these changes are found

Checks are matched across the two releases by V-number. A check counts as updated when DISA gave it a new rule revision (the r number in its SV-…_rule id) and its title, severity, check text, fix text, discussion, CCIs or other fields changed — the same comparison STIG Compare makes. Added checks are new V-numbers; removed checks are V-numbers V2R2 no longer has.
